One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for clients in Pecatonica who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to dispense certain meds to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. With low enough doses the client does not feel high and also doesn't have intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be given in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around just under $300 /month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. A person consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
